This was a one-way trip from their base Shire Cruisers of Sowerby Bridge and is well worth doing if you have an experienced crew, I am sure though things will continue to improve, so that it will be OK for novice crews soon.
This was our third time with Shire Cruisers and in the same boat as last year, Westmorland. Nigel and Susan Stevens, the owners of the firm, really do look after you very well and we would highly recommend them and their fleet.
How it works is that you arrive at the finish, leave your cars there and get a minibus with all your kit to your start point. Or, of course, the other way round depending how the bookings have gone.
Crew were David King (Captain), Adrian King, John Parmenter, Steve Platt, Prof Martin Cranage and Dr Mike Addlesee.
